Interesting A lineage franken variant we just picked up in Jordan - travel associated case from Sudan. Interesting evolutionary stuff going on on the African continent... [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-05-04 at 10.51.46.png]

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.
